Top Kirill Kaprizov Rookie Cards to Collect
As a Russian star with several pro seasons under his belt, Kirill Kaprizov adapted quickly to the NHL. This led to strong demand for the Kirill Kaprizov rookie cards.
Although he was selected by the Minnesota Wild in the 2015 NHL Draft, he did not join the team until the 2020-21 season, spending most of that time in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) with CSKA Moscow.
There are several notable names in the 2020-21 NHL rookie class, but it was not long before Kaprizov made his claim for the top rookie. This was cemented when he was awarded the Calder Memorial Trophy as the rookie of the year for 2020-21.
Fans can find Kirill Kaprizov rookie cards in many of the 2020-21 hockey card sets from Upper Deck. It is worth pointing out that the initial options come as redemptions.
He also has earlier cards from his KHL career, starting with 2016-17 cards for Salavat Yulaev Ufa.

2020-21 SP Game Used Authentic Rookies Kirill Kaprizov RC #180 #/97
Rarity is the name of the game for 2020-21 SP Game Used Hockey. The jersey-numbered base rookie for Kaprizov has just 97 copies, making for a pricey and hard-to-locate option.
However, collectors can find much more plentiful editions, including base parallels, relics and autographs, in the Authentic Rookies subset.
2020-21 SPx Rookie Jersey Autograph Kirill Kaprizov RC #KK #/165 (Redemption)
There are no Kirill Kaprizov rookie cards in the base set for 2020-21 SPx NHL, but the product does feature a few different autographs and relics, plus some inserts.
One key card is found in the Rookie Auto Jersey set as a redemption.
SPx is also the place to find his 2020-21 UD Black cards.
2020-21 Upper Deck Young Guns Kirill Kaprizov RC #451
For many NHL collectors, the Kirill Kaprizov rookie card to own is from the storied Young Guns line. Released in 2020-21 Upper Deck Series 2 Hockey, the base YG card is very popular on its own. Those chasing rare editions have a few limited parallels, as well.
The same set offers Kaprizov's UD Canvas Young Guns card (#C225).
2020-21 Upper Deck Artifacts Kirill Kaprizov RC #195 #/999 (Redemption)
As an early-season release, 2020-21 Upper Deck Artifacts NHL does not have live Kirill Kaprizov cards. However, the well-known Rookie Redemption inserts provide a way to cover for this.
Kaprizov is confirmed as #RED195 in the base set, SP-3 in the variants set, and #II for the Roman Numeral relics and autographs.
2020-21 Upper Deck Black Diamond Relic Rookies Gems Kirill Kaprizov RC #BDR-KA #/99
Another high-end rookie card with very limited production is available in 2020-21 Black Diamond Hockey. The Diamond Relic Rookie Gems card has only 99 copies and Kaprizov is included in the Triple Diamond subset.

Debuting much too late for inclusion in 2020-21 UD MVP, the Kirill Kaprizov rookie card is issued as part of the tough Central Division Rookie Redemptions card.
While these redemption sets don't surface very often, Kaprizov also comes in the die-cut MVP Prospects insert (#/250) in Series 2.

You guys have an amazing collection of Krill the Thrill. He is a great player and I think you should cherish this “Cardboard Connection” because it’s about to slip through your hands very soon to some Lucky collector.
I hope you guys had the blessing of pulling them yourselves.
Cheers
